Heat Pump and Electric Vehicle Survey – University of Leeds – £50 voucher

Researchers from the University of Leeds are looking for residents from Poringland and surrounding villages who have changed their heating system and/or vehicle in the last three years to take part in an interview.

Participants who are selected for the interview will receive a £50 voucher to compensate for their time.

The study is exploring the readiness of heat pumps and electric vehicles in different types of communities. Poringland and the surrounding villages is one of four case study areas.

You don’t need to have a heat pump or an EV to take part, but you do need to have changed your heating system or vehicle in the last three years. They want to understand your choices and experiences around this change.

If you are interested in taking part, please complete the survey using this link:
